i got a question, i have a cockatiel and i was gonna make a natural play gym, can i use branches from a maple tree or is a maple tree not safe?

yes, you can. maple trees are safe and non-toxic. my tiels play-gym is made with maple branches. just be sure they're pesticide free and washed.

LOL, I was just going to share the same link.

Just as Ap mentioned, I too would advise thoroughly cleaning the branches before use.
